It certainly was a dark and stormy night. It was also a bit sleepless because I stayed awake watching the storms’ progress across the states into Arkansas. I’m thankful for our meteorologists who miss sleep to keep us up on what’s happening in the heavens that affects us here on earth. Last night, it was some pretty […]

Along the way, our […]
